Pairwise Conservation Test

Source: R/stat_pairwise_test.R
stat_pairwise_test.Rd

Test for significant differences in transcriptomic index values between two groups of developmental stages.

Usage

stat_pairwise_test(phyex_set, modules, alternative = c("greater", "less"), ...)

Arguments

phyex_set

A PhyloExpressionSet object

modules

A named list with elements 'contrast1' and 'contrast2' containing stage indices for each contrast group

alternative

Character string specifying the alternative hypothesis: "greater" (contrast1 > contrast2) or "less" (contrast1 < contrast2)

...

Additional arguments passed to stat_generic_conservation_test

Value

A ConservationTestResult object with pairwise test results

Details

The pairwise test compares the mean transcriptomic index values between two groups of developmental stages. This is useful for testing specific hypotheses about differences in gene age composition between developmental periods.

Examples

# Define contrast groups
# modules <- list(contrast1 = 1:3, contrast2 = 7:9)
# result <- pairwise_test(phyex_set, modules, alternative = "greater")
